Thursday night in Brooklyn, the surviving members on Nirvana reunited, just four days after the 20th anniversary of Kurt Cobain‘s death, to celebrate their induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. The band invited several guests to join them on stage, filling in for Cobain, including Joan Jett, Kim Gordon, St. Vincent’s Annie Clark and Lorde, who took on the group’s “All Apologies.”

R.E.M.’s Michael Stipe introduced the band, and thanked them for being an “outsider voice for the fags, the fat, the fed-up and the bullied.” Cobain’s widow Courtney Love also made a brief speech.

While Nirvana may have broken up two years before Lorde was (allegedly) born, she does a pretty excellent job here. Following the induction ceremony, Nirvana played a surprise show at St. Vitus in Greenpoint, joined by Jett, Gordon, Clark and Dinosaur Jr.’s J. Mascis.

And as the anniversary nears, interest in Cobain’s death is at a fever pitch. Last week, Seattle police had to clarify that they had not reopened the investigation into Cobain’s death.

Now, they’ve released new pictures—35 to be exact—that were taken during the investigation immediately following Coabin’s death, but were undeveloped until now. The pictures show the scene of Cobain’s suicide, including his suicide note pinned to a planter in his Lake Washington home. Click through the gallery to see some of the pictures, you can find the rest at CBS News.

This April (the 8th, specifically) marks 20 years since the suicide of Kurt Cobain. And while the anniversary will surely spark 1,000 thinkpieces about what it means, Seattle’s KIRO 7 is off to an early start, teasing an upcoming report with BRAND NEW UNSEEN DEATH PHOTOS:

Last month, police developed four rolls of film that had been sitting for years in a Seattle police evidence vault. The 35 mm film was processed by the King County Sheriff’s Office photo lab under high security.

Though the pictures have a slight green tint because of deterioration, police say they more clearly show the scene than the earlier Polaroid photos taken by investigators.

Tonight only on KIRO 7 Eyewitness News Eleven at 11, we speak with the detective who re-investigated the case and ask him about the new details in the investigation.

KIRO’s report sparked rumors that Seattle Police had reopened the investigation into Cobain’s death. Rumors that the Seattle PD had to shut down immediately.

Despite an erroneous news report, we have not "reopened" the investigation into the suicide of Kurt Cobain.

In the days in which nostalgia is a national pass-time and “remember when” is a business model, we’re sure to see plenty more morbid Cobain frenzy in the coming weeks. But what if we could step back for a minute, remember how much we love “Smells Like Teen Spirit” and try not to turn the suicide of one of the most influential rockers ever into a listicle?

The winner is former princess and September 2013 Vanity Fair cover model (total coincidence there, I’m sure) Diana Spencer.

Other questions on the poll found that more men than women would like to die before their partner, though only 12% of those polled said they’d give their life for their spouse. People would also rather have their ashes scattered in an amusement park than Canada and a shocking 42% of white people would be willing to flip the switch on an electric chair (don’t ask me why they separated it by race).

The poll also asked which fictional character people would like to bring back to life (probably because Vanity Fair‘s looking for a November cover model). Titanic‘s Jack Dawson took the top slot amongst both men and women, though, for men, The Godfather‘s Fredo Corleone was a close second. Bernie Lomax of Weekend at Bernie’s placed fourth among men, which would entirely defeat the purpose of that movie. C’mon, guys.

The daughter of late music legend Kurt Cobain, Frances Bean, has been left heartbroken after her little cat ran away.

Cobain, with her fiancé Isaiah Silva, has been scouring her West Hollywood, Calif., neighborhood and posting missing flyers. She’s even taken to Twitter to appeal for locals to find her kitten, named Zero.

Cobain, 19, is so desperate to find her pussy cat that she is even offering a massive reward.

How much?

A princely sum of $5000!

Describing her beloved fur child as “a skinny black cat,” the daughter of the late Nirvana frontman said she raised Zero since she was four weeks old.

She Tweeted:

So pls if u see a black cat w/ a little patch of white in her chest wandering around the Hollywood/weho area call the # on her tag.5k reward

Cobain has had a bad track record with cats, previously accusing her estranged mother Courtney Love of killing not just one of her cats, but also her dog!

In court papers filed by Cobain in 2009 seeking a restraining order against the troubled rocker, Cobain claimed her 47-year-old mom’s reckless behavior lead to the early demise of her pets.

According to the documents, the cat died after getting caught in Love’s messy piles of “Etsy fabrics, boxes of paperwork, trash and other possessions,” and the dog overdosed after swallowed prescription pills from Love’s drug stash.

There is not love lost between the not so dynamic mother daughter duo with the pair embarking on very public Twitter war against each other.

In April, Cobain called for the Hole singer to be banned from Twitter after Love went on a rant claiming Dave Grohl – frontman of the Foo Fighters and former drummer of Nivarna – had hit on her daughter

“While I’m generally silent on the affairs of my biological mother, her recent tirade has taken a gross turn,” Cobain tweeted.

“I have never been approached by Dave Grohl in more than a platonic way. I’m in a monogamous relationship and very happy. Twitter should ban my mother.”

Robert Pattinson recently ditched his normally shy persona to bite back at rock star and sometime-provacetuer Courtney Love.

See, it all started earlier this year when Robert was rumored to be cast a Kurt Cobain in a possible Nirvana bio-pic. Once Courtney got wind of the suggestion she immediately shot it down as “stupid” and asked, rather rudely, “who would cast him?” Well, a lot of people would, Courtney, he is only one of the hottest young movie stars on the planet!

Courtney’s words apparently hurt the 24-year-old hunk who told the Daily Mirror (via Dlisted) what he thinks of all the silliness:

I love Nirvana, but I love them a bit too much – I’d be embarrassed. And you see all these comments, like from Courtney Love, saying ’What the fuck! He’s totally wrong for it’, and I’m like, ’I fucking said no, you dick!’

Yikes! Sounds like strong words from the normally well-mannered and shy Eclipse star. Not that we blame him, but we hope that the two grunge-lovers can patch things up.

Luckily for her, the final destination appears to be a huge pile of money.

The Widow Cobain has reportedly been offered $162 million by Evergreen Capital for her remaining 75 percent stake in the End of Music catalogue, which controls the rights to her deceased husband’s work.

Fair point. And maybe she can spread some of her windfall around to help us get over the frightening image of her having sex with Kate Moss that she recently planted in the public’s consciousness.

“Isn’t that so stupid, who would cast him? No offense…I watched the Twilight stuff very, very recently and I get it, it resonates with the teenaged girl in me, I understand epic love of that nature; I write about it all the time. But isn’t that silly?”

Love is reportedly courting the most wonderful, magnificent actor of Our Time, Robert Pattinson for the role of Kurt and Robert is rumored to be open to the idea.

The casting would make sense, Robert does bear some resemblance to Kurt and we all know how Robert loves wallowing in his cute grungey-ness.

Love is also reportedly looking to cast Scarlett Johansson to play Love in the film. Oh, Courtney, Scarlett may be blonde but that is where the resemblance to you begins and ends. Of course, if we were casting a film about our life we would be hiring the best looking actors to play ourselves, even if the physical resemblance is thin.

Love is also looking to tap David Fincher to direct the film. Fincher has previously directed Fight Club.

If Robert does end up taking the role, it might introduce his dreaminess to the over-30 crowd, and the more Robert handsomeness that is spread around, the better. Also, maybe girlfriend Kristen Stewart can give him some tips on how to play a rock legend since her turn as Joan Jett in The Runaways was so successful.

http://www.celebuzz.com/2009-04-07/courtney-love-is-in-a-suing-mood/#commentsTue, 07 Apr 2009 14:00:31 +0000?p=92022Courtney Love‘s vengeful wrath can no longer be contained by her prolific and bizarre online rants.

The New York Post reports that Love is going to court to regain millions of dollars that have been “looted” from the estate of her deceased husband, former Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain.

Thanks to a team of investigators and “forensic accountants,” Love and her legal team have discovered that more than $30 million in cash and up to $500 million in real estate have gone missing. And now Love wants it back.

“I have never seen such greed and moral turpitude,” says Love’s lawyer, Rhonda J. Holmes. “This case is going to make Bernard Madoff look warm and fuzzy.”

Holmes says that she and her client will be launching legal proceedings “within the next 30 days. There are many, many millions missing. We’ve only been able to track down $30 million, but there is more. And then there is the real estate.”

Love’s attorney claims that bank accounts using the Social Security numbers of Courtney, Kurt and their daughter, Frances Bean, were used to buy and sell homes across the country.

“There is now a web of homes which were bought, flipped and used to launder money—up to $500 million worth,” Holmes asserts. “Any of the property we can get back will be donated to people who have lost their homes in foreclosures.”

Interestingly, Love recently found herself on the receiving end of a lawsuit. New Musical Express reports that Boudoir Queen fashion designer Dawn Simorangkir is suing the volatile songstress for allegedly making “menacing and disturbing” statements via her Twitter and MySpace accounts.

Nice to know that Courtney is doing her part to keep the economy afloat by providing plenty of work for legal professionals.

So of course, the British edition of Elle magazine put the former Mrs. Kurt Cobain, age 44, on its January 2009 cover.

Bearing the cover line “Truly Madly Courtney: Up All Night With Rock’s Coolest Blonde,” the issue carries a tell-all interview with the famously opinionated Love. Among her confessions, according to the Daily Mail:

That she once considered lap-band surgery to lose weight. “Baby, if I could get a gastric band I would,” Love confesses. “I’ve heard it’s a lot of vomiting and a pain in the ass, but it’s still easier than a diet. I did go to see a Hollywood doctor about it.” (According to other accounts, Love did more than just think about the surgery.)

That her daughter, 16-year-old Frances Bean Cobain, knows all about her mom and late dad Kurt Cobain‘s drug habits: “My daughter knows I did drugs in my first trimester of pregnancy. She weighed 7 pounds, 6 ounces, when she was born and she was healthy,” the proud mama recalls. “We were excellent parents, and I say that despite pretty much always having an edge on.”

Hmm; average birth weight aside, the effects of Love’s prenatal drug use on Frances Bean are probably still up for debate. That is, if the kid’s questionable work ethic is an indication.

The January 2009 British Elle is on sale now.

It’s probably best to read it with a pal. That’s a seductive glamour Courtney Love exudes, but good friends don’t let their friends slip into it.

Because crystal-clearCourtney Love is looking for all three, according to a rambling post on her MySpace blog titled “this is wierd but what the f*ck.” (Maybe she just needs someone who owns a dictionary?)

“is anyone insanely clean neatfreak near malibu? i need a non thieving non freaky housekeeper also i need we need a documentarist, someone to document our studio as we go in wedsday, and i have ALOT of work to do til then and i wont just hand this to hbo or bbc 2 or bravo and god forbid not vh1!”

But wait—there’s more!

“i know this is wierd- the agencies suck and im sick of PIGS who steal itts simple as that., so f*ck it why not try my space , beats monster . no superfans please. and its very good money. btw the housekeeping part just early hours.”

So, one moment she says “you can’t keep a good one down.” The next she says she’s quitting music after her next album, Nobody’s Daughter, is released.

Why should she bother with small potatoes like having her own music career? She’s nowhere near done making bank off her dead husband.

According to the New York Post, 15-year-old Frances Bean’s summer internship with Rolling Stone magazine isn’t exactly instilling a sturdy work ethic in the rock-legend scion.

“She doesn’t get coffee for anyone…calls in sick all the time and wears funny outfits,” says the paper’s source.

A representative for Rolling Stone denies the claims: “She’s a great girl, and we’re glad to have her.”

Of course they’d say that. They’re scared to death to let her go. Courtney Love will come down to the Rolling Stone offices and rant incoherently for 73 straight hours before vomiting in the water fountain and relieving herself in a potted plant.

The whereabouts of Kurt Cobain‘s ashes might be a mystery, but Converse has released its special-edition Kurt Cobain Chuck Taylor sneakers, emblazoned with “doodlings drawn from the personal notebook” of the deceased Nirvana singer, who took his own life (or so they want us to believe) in 1994.

Available in both high- and low-top models, the canvas kicks run $49.95 a pair—a bit steep by Chuck T standards but a small price to pay to walk around with the offhand scribbles of a grunge poet wrapped around your feet.

The distraught and previously drug-addled widow says the teddy bear bag with her husband’s remains has been missing for weeks. “I find it disgusting, and right now I’m suicidal.”

“They were all I had left of my husband. I used to take them everywhere just so I could feel Kurt was still with me…I can’t believe anyone would take Kurt’s ashes from me.”

Hmmm, she’s probably not alone in her disbelief.

In other news, Courtney’s still unable to find the mysterious individual who stole her old face, although suspicions are running high that it was a blind, epileptic, one-armed surgeon.
